"drop downing, put suarez, sturridge ans sterling
there are 16 matches frm now if we win 13 out of them we can be in top four now it depend how much consistent we are, as liverpool just win 2 consecutive matches then 3rd match a lost. go for top four, kill team in first 30 to 35 minutes.we won most of our matches in which we hv scored early "

"Br and ayre go and get one quality player that can lift up lfc to higher placing in the league dats is the target when u compete on a league format competition pay top dollar as that is themarket for success."
"Guys, please give our new players to settle down and perform! Remember how long it took for most of us to start appreciating Lucas Leiva? The new signings should be given an equal chance! YNWA!"
"man utd players have dedication ,passion willingness to win and play . liverpool players lack these charcteristic.our fans are the best that only utd don't hv fans like liverpool"
"we lack creative players, there are so many gud players availble benat, lorente, walcott,sneider.
sturridge can't b the only signing, we need more quality players not like downing, henderson, caroll"
"Gemboy, yawn yawn. How many more players do we need to give time to. Allen, Henderson downing ect? 1 or 2 players ok but 3-5 players is a joke. We need ready made quality, snijder? I put him in team befor shelvey and co! Oh and BR protect our players from press. We don't need to see how much u want to be seen protecting LFC. Looking after ure prized possession will show that! "
"All these 'mid-table mediocrity' so called fans really annoy me! No were not in the top 4 but BR has been told what money he has is limited in Jan and plenty will be available in summer. The squad we have puts us under performing by 2 maybe 3 places we dont have a top 4 squad at the mo! wake up and smell the coffee..."
"A team containing pepe, glen, skirts, aggar, SG, Lucas , and king luis . SHOULD be up there,summer signings were poor to say least, before anyone mentions KD signings, remember he didn't do set prices. Had KD stayed we would have got another winger, striker and Diame was set to sign for FREE! Yes wake up and smell the coffee! BR don't hang dirty washing in public pls."
"Brendan ... lets see plus please dont talk about suarez internal matters outside or mention any transfers till the deals done as we used to .. fans getting fed up of let downs !!
Steve , Spain "
"I really hope he does well for us , we need a goal scorer , Luis is outstanding at what he does but needs help because sometimes one chance isnt enough for him. Sturridge looks sharp and has proved he knows were to be when the chances fall. Lets hope he puts them away, we all know we need someone how will."
"What's charming got to do with it BR? I notice u like to wax on about "the quality in the group" that quality was seriously exposed on Sunday. I watched footballs greatest managers last night "sir bob paisley" watch and learn from a master. No imitating, no gimmicks , just class. Oh, and he knew a thing or two about buying players, watch it you might learn something about LFC"
"Enough of Sturridge now Brendan.. I really do like you and hope you succeed but,you really need to sign top Midfielder!
Sneijder is available, if not then go for Alonso.Our mid is very weak. Get Diame for 3.5m..Come on we got rid of so many players why aren't we getting some in ?
We as fans deserve more. I travel to liverpool most games and pay good money just to see the likes of shelvey."
"I would be happy if Sturridge further to a charming lad was a scoring lad, it would be what matter! I really hope that Dan becomes one of the most influent players around Luis Suarez as we need Sturridge's goals, movements, ability to combine and prowess to counter-attack quickly. He can be what once was Babel for Fernando Torres. The ideal complement for El Pistolero YNWA DS"
"Brendan - stop bigging up other teams. I hope you don't talk like this in the dressing room. Be like the great Shankly - tell the team they are the best and no-one will beat them. Read Shankly's quotes, that's the sort of grit we need."
"AKLFC, agree with that. Though its never good to copy someone else's ways. As the great paisley once said. If you copy someone you'll fall short. Be yourself BR develop your management skill, no need to attend manure seminars. Shankly laid the foundations, Bob built the castle! Please don't turn into premier inn with Lenny Henry greeting all comers at the gates!! "
"Our defence is struggling especially if we keep playing johnson out of position. Pls start downing in defence and drop allen out of the starting IX. Them 3 points is ours!"
"sturridge could save br's job and he may go on to be a great manager for us. gj has to start at right back as he is weak at lb and wisdom is not able to contribute much in attack. downing at left back has been ok and gives us an attacking threat."
"i do not think wanting to drop players when they perform badly is the solution coz even Hindo struggles in mst matchees. all of them must be to the task at all times"
"Let's hope d current lack of ambition doesn't dampen his spirit. Joe is a shadow right now , can't mark, can't pass, even backwards. Only Suarez shows hunger. God knows 4 hw long given d club's current ambitionless policy. I think it won't be long b4 his strong desire 4 success bcomes glaringly divergent with dis club's self defeating policy. Last sunday was worse than disgusting."
"cordoso please, left Downing where he is at right wing, it's there where he performs properly in terms of penetration and workrate! we need absolutely a backup for Jose in this window, Stew at left back is basically wasted! FSG have simply to understand that has to get out the money if we have still a bit of ambition!"
"We don't want charm we want goalscorers and hopefully Sturridge will deliver after all he is being payed lots of money to do just that. If Rodgers does not change his youth mentality/policy he may go down as the worst manager ever to manage LFC. This may also result into our star players becoming frustrated by the sheer lack of quality."
"Allen had a great first three months, don't make me laugh. He was decent at best for the first month and now his true colours are on display. Sturridge has been and will continue to be a great signing for us. Lets just hope the pattern with BR is not, every five signings one is good."
"Kingluis007 - very well said. I totally agree. Brendan does love talking to the media, in fact he never shuts up. He's no Bob Paisley that's for sure, not even close. Next week (the 23rd) would of been Bob's birthday he would of been 93! Bob Paisley was a man of few words spoken quietly but he was true football genius. "
"NOT MANY BRILLIANT FANS ON THE LFC WEBSITE BRENDAN JUDGING BY THE COMMENTS ABOVE. WE DOMINATED THE 2ND HALF AT MAN.U LAST WEEK AND WERE BEATEN BY AN OIDE GOAL BUT OUR "BRILLIANT FANS" CAN'T SEE ANY POSITIVES. OH YES, PROBABLY THE SAME FANS WHO DIDN'T WANT DANIEL STURRIDGE BECAUSE "HE'S S***"."
"i can see from most of the comments that fans want ti see 1 or 2 more players b4 window closes and i agree. we have a right to say this bcoz we can see from last week's game that our midfield is weak n defence abit sloppy."
"rodgers needs to seriously at other alternative players incase we miss out on sneider(which i believe we will) n not just anyone but a more experienced playmaker. he should have been prepared before the window had opened like he did with sturridge. we'v lost 2 midfielders n i cant blive we'r waiting again until the last week. "
"when we start playing midweek in europa n fa cup then rodgers will start to fill the pressure of a small squad. the owners n ayre need to also back rodgers on the transfers. the last thing the supporters need will be a repeat of the previous transfer window where BR thought he could get players on the last day with no problems"
"At the end of the day we lost 2-1 to the prem's current best side. We lacked belief and mental strength in the first half so Brendan had a word, tweeked the set up and BINGO! we were the better side! Some of you need to open your eyes and get on board with what BR is doing."
"KINGOFCLUBS, WELL SAID !! WHY CAN'T OUR 'FANS' TAKE SOME POSITIVES FROM THAT 2ND HALF PERFORMANCE AND THE FACT THAT WE'VE WON 7 OUT OF OUR LAST 10 ?? "
"why are fans so impatient?? for anybody knows we still have time in this window to bring player(s) in. we are progressing and made a great signing bringing D.S in. he will score lots of goals but fans waiting for him to fail. support the club, the manager and all players. good & bad. come on you reds 3pts v norwich. YNWA"
"I've mistakenly been calling some posters on here LFC 'fans'. Granted, a fan has the right to disagree with decisions a club makes, a right with which the majority of 'qualified' PL managers on here fulfill regularly. Shame those same posters don't post when BR/FSG/players do good for the club, shame these fans show no patience & want it all right now, today. What happened to the LFC fanbase?"
"MILAN try supporting allen and he might improve. LFC thru,thick&thin, likewise.always enjoy your posts. similar views and also realistic. we all want LFC to be at the top again and we will get there. promising times ahead. wins and consistency needed but it will come. YNWA "
"And for those constantly chelping on about 'signing players', 'where are the signings', 'why aren't they signed yet', etc. I hope this isn't the 1st season you've followed LFC, because suerly then you'd realise that all the main deals are done in the last week of the TW, with most in the last 48 hours."
"CHAMPIONSOFEUROPE, SOMETIMES I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I AM READING ON THIS WEBSITE. I COME FROM A FAMILY FULL OF REDS FANS AND THE MAJORITY OF MY FRIENDS ARE REDS TOO, AND THEY ARE ALL SUPPORTIVE OF THE TEAM AND MANAGER. THE ONLY TIME I HEAR "SACK RODGERS", IS ON THESE LFC PAGES ?????"
"Milan1960: when was the last time you posted a +ve comment or do you only reserve your +ve comments for the ManU website. Is supporting LFC such a difficult task or do you only support us when we're at the top of the table??!!"
"Yes we did Milan! but we were on top and had the chances to put the game to bed, but they were well up for it that day and defended really well and we just blew up! there won't be many days like that, especially now we have Sturridge. We are still a work in progress, you're either on board or you're not!"
"PLYNO1RED, AGREED, SOME OF US ARE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH AND APPRECIATE THE WORK IN PROGRESS. IT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE PERFECT OVERNIGHT AND WE ARE BOUND TO HAVE HICCUPS ON THE WAY. "
"I really hope we start with Suarez& sturridge and play much more offensive we'll score more than you atude, come on lads I really think with a bit balls we will get our just rewards."
"ChampionsOfEurope - Sitting & applauding mediocrity & hoping things get better will achieve nothing. If I believe things are wrong at the club I will say so because I CARE about LFC - not you or Brendan or Allen. Our club desereves better."
"LFC THRU THICK + THIN: It's incredible this website sometimes, as you say, I've only ever heard the 'sack BR' on here. Every game you hear the fans singing 'there's only one Brendan Rodgers', even at OT. This gives me some peace as I believe that the majority of -ve posters on here are either seeking attention or are imbeciles."
"Milan1960: Your comments are as deluded as usual. You clearly show you don't care about LFC with the toxic vocabulary you use towards a progressing club that has crumbled over the last decade, I suppose all that is BR/FSG fault too? Our club deserves better fans than you."
"i would think Brendan will start luis and D.S and keep borini for 2nd half. we are starting to have more options now. hope enrique is back asap. we miss him on left. sure we will get the win and 3 important pts. YNWA"
"Dont play sterling, he has played terrible the last 2 months. He looks like a scared teenager and brings pt. nothing to the team. He challenges no more, but plays the ball back if he managed to hit a lfc player. The staff must work mentally with the young man, if he shall be in starting line-up and even on the bench"
"we are supposed to have a "leading pshyc" working for them...But I cant see it at all, I performance coach pro golfers to give them a confidence to enable a freedom to play at their best... I cant see that with our team, so what is he getting paid for...!!!"
"I dont care who mk the starting 11 ... Who we sign who we sell .... All that matters is I want to see lfc champion again .... So if u can get us that br n fsg then quit "
"LFC thru thick +thin I agree with you about being positive. But I get frustrated when a) he condemns our no1 player in public b) wants to get rid of coates 2 seasons ago copa yp or tournament 4 unknown! C)why does he not see the blinking obvious ? Where's suso, why always Allen why always start with 4-3-3 . Be individual , don't imitate !
"
"please get sneijder, imagine that passing to suarez gerrard that will add another 20 goals no problem, If we get him to lower his wage demands he would be class
"
"rosso i agree that stewie is best at right mid but with ds now a starter and raheem and borini fixed in the managers mind the best option is to use stewie to allow gj return to where he is best. norwich will sit and hit at anfield so our back line will have time when in possession and stewie can contribute greatly from deep."
"Get Carroll back if the squad is so thin. He has talent when he is trusted to play......we need more heavy weights up front, JA needs a rest, but good work so far, it really is coming together, Daniel is a great addition, and seems to display the hunger we need, just like the SG of old (and sometimes recently) and El Pistollero himself.
Come on You Reds, YNWA"
"Your next job is to do the right things.
First is to sell Downing.
Second is to let Shelvey and Henderson be the starters.
Third is to have Sterling on the right wing, Sturridge on the left and Suarez in the middle.
"
"Hate to say this. KK 's mistake was buying Downing and Adam.Carrol is no way to be thought as crap based on his good resume from NC.
But BR mistake was buying Allen and Borini.
And we don't even feel so sure what trophy we have a chance to lift this season.
"
"Sturridge is really good. I watched him play at Chelsea so well.
We are lucky to get Sturridge.
Now Suarez must be open minded passing him the ball. Suarez is too arrogant to other forward teamates. Only Gerard that he respects. Liverpool succeeded by teamwork, not by one-man show. Otherwish, he will leave Liverpool with no PL Champion in his record."
"Wisdom might look weak, but that he's inexperienced player.
But I saw his industrious performance to come up front often even not so perfect, similar to Kelly. And he 's a tough player, who is bold.
Oh! in Man U match last week, he worked more than DOwning.
"
"At this time and going forward we need to support BR and all the players. And they need to win for us. More positive play and better from Joe Allen was needed against Man U. Maybe if we are positive they will be too. YNWA "
